My BETA club is planning a fundraising play, but we need something appropriate (nothing a principal would call innappropriate or a 6th grade boy wouldn't do), somewhat long (30 minutes to 1 1/2 hours), has many speaking parts, and has a good spread of lines and characters. We would like to do a comedy, but not concentrated on potty humor. (I have to say, though... the Fart-Zen play on Free Drama is pretty good :D)
We can't do any musicals, as we have few songbirds in BETA. It would be better if we could find a play that had interchangable parts. It should be appropriate and fun for 11-14 year olds. Nothing dorky, though; a story about kids that just love to do homework isn't going to go well with fellow students.
One more thing: It has to have no royalty or script charges. I have found several sites that offer this; I just have no clue which one to do!

i agree with the person above me.
a moder version of taming of the shrew is what my school did last week, we had only 4 days of it & every day we had a full house, & it was fun rehersing, because everything we had to reherse was hilarious & it was hard enough rehearsing it.
good luck.

Write a modern adaptation from a famous play, like Taming of a Shrew, Othello or A Midsummer night's dream.
